[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Unbeaten British lightweight Kevin Mitchell is certain a fight with WBO lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez will happen very soon. Mitchell faces Michael Katsidis for the WBO's interim title on Saturday night. The winner becomes the WBO's mandatory challenger at the weight. Marquez defends the title against Juan Diaz in a rematch on July 31. [Click Here To Read More]

Interesting.

I can certainly see Warren making a very, very attractive offer to Marquez for a big fight in the UK (it would be huge here) if Mitchell wins.

"Im not hungry, Im starving" Love this kid.

Marquez wont fight him though. JMM will want a payday like Hatton or maybe even fight Morales.

I really hope kevin wins tomorrow but he needs to concentrate on Kats and forget about JMM for now.

[the niggest]

Mitchell should focus on Katsidis first.... Anyway I can't see JMM fighting Mitchell, JMM will probably want bigger fights than that. As I see it Mitchell will probably fight for the vacant WBO title late this year or early next year. And JMM will go for a bigger fight.

No way does Warren put Mitchell in with Marquez if he wins. Expect Mitchell to rematch Carl Johanssen.

The same ref who officiated Tszyu vs Hatton is officiating Katsids-Mitchell. Hatton should have been DQ'd in that fight for a deliberate low blow. In fact that was the turning point in the fight. So Mitchell probably thinks the fight is in the bag.

Post-script to that is the little-known Katsidis was one of Kostya's sparring partners for the Hatton fight, and Kostya is one of Kats' boxing heroes. I'm sure the history hasn't escaped him.

Mitchell seems to be talking about everyone but the man in front of him. I'm not sure if that's a ploy or what but he better be focused on Katsidis. Besides, I don't know how Mitchell became to be a beast all of a sudden, I think Katsidis will beat him.

[jclooney]
